With the huge popularity of the American Quarter Horse, and its tremendous versatility,
it has only been natural for breeders to cross their quarter horses with other breeds.
The temperament and athleticism of the American Quarter horse, along with its beautiful
conformation and gorgeous colors, which can be passed on to these crosses, makes
the results both unique and special.

Everyone likes to know as much as possible about a horse they are buying or own,
and there is no better way to know the characteristics of a horse, than to know
its breeding, which, in a nutshell, tells what to expect of it, both physically
and mentally.

While the Quarter-Grade cross is the most common, some of the other most popular
are, the Quarter-Arab, the Quarter-Morgan, the Quarter-Saddlebred, the Quarter-Appaloosa
and the Quarter-Paint. Still others include the Quarter-Clydesdale, the Quarter-Haflinger,
the Quarter-Percheron, the Quarter-Standardbred, and the Quarter-Walking Horse.

Horses that are eligible for registration must have at least one parent registered
with the American Quarter Horse Association. If the other parent is of unregistered
parentage, this horse will be designated as Quarter/Grade. (QG)

A 3/4 bred Quarter Horse, is a horse with one fully registered Quarter Horse parent,
and one registered Half-Quarter Horse parent.

Carrying this logic to the next step, a horse with one full blooded and one 3/4 blooded
parent would be eligible to be registered as a 7/8 bred Quarter Horse.

A horse with each of its parents being fully registered, but with different breed
registries, is characterized and registered as a distinct cross, such as Quarter/Morgan,
(QM) or Quarter/Arab, (QA).

Every horse receives a permanent number, with the relevant breed designation.

DOES YOUR HORSE QUALIFY? THE HORSE YOU WISH TO REGISTER MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE PARENT THAT IS AQHA OR APHA REGISTERED. ITS THAT SIMPLE!

With that said, we register full quarter horses almost daily. We offer a possible alternative when AQHA denies a horse registration. This could happen for numerous reasons including, but not limited to, the following:

-excessive white on the horse or in areas that AQHA does not approve of
